Dear Parents and Friends of our school Kia Ora/Bora Da/Konichi Wa/Hello
Welcome to Week 11, the last week of the term :)
This will be our last weekly newsletter. In the new term we will revert back to fortnightly Thursday newsletters, starting in Week 1.
We have updated our schools Traffic Light Protocols as a result of the adjustments that have been made to the red traffic light setting. This updated information can be found on our school website.
All going to plan we will have no tamariki isolating or positive as from tomorrow. This is great news as we head into the school holidays.
We hope everyone has a fabulous Easter break with friends and whanau and that all our tamariki come back recharged and ready for a new term.
